Add Synopsis
Storyline
In the future, humanity has constructed several space colonies. But the corrupt Treize and his organization Oz have manipulated the United Earth Sphere Alliance into controlling earth and its colonies with an iron fist. To counteract this extreme measure, rebel colonies launch Operation: Meteor; an attempt to smuggle Mobile Suits made of Gundanium alloy to earth to combat the corruption and free earth and the colonies from Oz's control. One of these "Gundams" is piloted by Heero Yuy, who is shot down and is forced to blend in to enemy society. Now up against social issues with a girl named Relena and Oz and its puppets, Heero must unite with other rebels and save his people. Written by redcommander27

Trivia
In an interview, character designer Shûkô Murase Heero Yuy was modeled after actress Yuki Uchida. Heero's name was based off the Japanese words "hitotsu" (meaning "one"), "yuitsu" (meaning "only"), and the English word "hero", and was meant to be evocative of "Amuro Ray", the hero of the original Kidô Senshi Gundam (1979).

When Sally Po is introduced, she talks in a high-pitched, almost little girl-like voice. In later episodes, her voice is far more gruff. See more »Quotes

Alternate Versions
The version that Cartoon Network shows on its Toonami afternoon segment contains some cuts and changes from the original dub. Enumerated as follows:- Most of the blood is removed.
- "Damn" changed to "darn"/"curse"/"blast"; direct references to "kill" changed to "destroy"/"stop"; "hell" removed (changed variously to "darkness", or "heck").
- Duo's self referencing as the "God of Death" is changed to the "Great Destroyer".
- Episode 7 "Scenario for Bloodshed": When General Septem is shot in mid-air, the bullet going through him is not shown.
- Episode 12 "Bewildered Warriors": When Trowa says he wishes he were more like Heero, he responds regarding the self-destruction of Wing Gundam, "It hurts like hell." This is changed into "It hurts really bad."
- Episode 17 "Betrayed By Home, Far Away": During an interrogation, Lady Une exasperatedly points a gun at Professor G's head and questions him; this scene is cut.
- Episode 23 "Duo, God of Death Once Again": Duo says "What B.S.!" when he sees an OZ representative on TV; "B.S." is removed. Also, an interrogation scene where Hilde questions Duo while pointing a gun at him is edited.
- Episode 25 "Quatre vs. Heero": When Lady Une is shot, the bullet is not shown going through her.
- Episode 48 "Take-Off Into Confusion": During a swordfighting match, Dorothy runs her fencing foil through Quatre; this is not shown in the cut version. It is made to appear as though Dorothy just scraped him.

Gundam Wing isn't the deepest or most meaningful anime in existence. But it's not necessarily DragonBall Z either. Compared to the Universal Century Gundam chapters, though, Gundam W seems a bit on the shallow side.
None of the characters seem to have any depth to their personalites, and most are simple carbon copies of characters in previous Gundams. Zechs, the son of a murdered political leader, wears a mask in order to keep his true identity secret, waiting for the day he can reclaim his birthright. This is an exact copy of Char Aznable from the UC, even down to the initial military rank (both were lieutenants). Char seems to be a more believable character, though.
The mecha designs (namely the Deathscythe) are somewhat interesting, but I prefer the more utilitarian designs of the UC. The best mecha are found in the Endless Waltz OVA, however. Luckily there's no Turn-A in this series.
If you want thought-provoking anime, look for a UC Gundam or get Evangelion or Lain. If you want a shallow "story" and fights that last 10 episodes, get Dragonball Z. If you want a balance of the two, Gundam W might fit the bill.
